Hakuna kitu kibaya kama kujiona unajua kumbe huna ulijualo, God linapotumika kwa mtu huwa ni abbreviation ya jina Godlove, Godbless n.k na kama huamini basi nenda kawaulize wenye majina yao.
Ni kweli, huyo mungu mumuabuduye siye yule tumuabuduye siye, maana mungu wenu anashindwa, tena na mwanadamu (Mwanzo 32:24-30) na Mungu wetu ni mshindi asoshindwa na chochote.
Hahaha kwamba Mungu wetu Jehova aliyemfufua Lazaro, aliyeponya vipofu, aliyetenda miujiza kedekede kama kumnyakua Elia akiwa hai ashindwe na mwanadamu?

24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.”
But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27 The man asked him, “What is your name?”
“Jacob,” he answered.
28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel,
[
a]
because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.”
But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.
30 So Jacob called the place Peniel,
[

saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”

Haya twende kwenye tafsiri konki kabisa

Mungu alibadilisha jina la Yakobo, ambalo lilimaanisha "kuongezea," kuwa "Israeli," maana yake "kuwa na nguvu na Mungu" (Mwanzo 32:28). Hii ilitokea baada ya Yakobo kuchukua urithi wa Esau (Mwanzo 25) na kuiba baraka za Esau (Mwanzo 27), alikimbia ndugu yake hadi kwa mjomba wake Labani (Mwanzo 28), akaoa Leah na Rachel(Mwanzo 29), alikimbia Labani (Mwanzo 31), na kisha wakapigana na Mungu alivyojitayarisha kukutana na Esau. Yakobo alikuwa amedanganya ndugu yake, ametanganywa na mjomba wake, akamdanganya mjomba wake (Mwanzo 30), na sasa alikuwa akiingilia eneo la ndugu yake ili kukimbia hasira ya mjomba wake. Alikuwa amesikia kwamba Esau angekuja na kukutana naye na akaogopea maisha yake. Usiku huo, Yakobo alipigana na mtu, ambaye baadaye alijitambulisha kuwa Mungu na anahesabiwa kuwa ni theophany au labda Kristo aliyezaliwa kabla. Yakobo akamshikilia huyo mtu mpaka alipopata baraka. Ilikuwa wakati huu Mungu alimbadilishia jina. Yakobo hakuwa tena kuwa msaidizi na mwongofu. Badala yake, angeweza kutambuliwa kama "alijitahidi na Mungu na wanadamu na ……kushinda" (Mwanzo 32:28).
Katika Agano Jipya, Yesu alibadilisha jina la Simoni, maana yake "Mungu amesikia," na kuwa "Petro," maana yake ni "mwamba" alipomwita kwanza kama mwanafunzi (Yohana 1:42). Alikuwa Petro ambaye alitangaza kwamba Yesu alikuwa "Masihi, Mwana wa Mungu aliye hai" (Mathayo 16:16). Yesu akamjibu kama "Simoni mwana wa Yona," akisema kuwa alibarikiwa kwa sababu Mungu alifunua jina la Yesu kama Masihi kwake. Kisha akamtaja kama "Petro" na akasema kwamba tamko la Petro lilikuwa msingi, au "mwamba," ambako angejenga kanisa lake (Mathayo 16: 17-18). Petro pia huonekana mara nyingi kama kiongozi wa mitume. Yesu mara kwa mara aliita Petro "Simoni" wakati mwingine. Kwa nini? Pengine kwa sababu wakati mwingine Simoni alitenda kama mtu wake wa zamani badala ya mwamba Mungu alimwita kuwa. Ndivyo ilivyo kwa Yakobo. Mungu aliendelea kumuita "Yakobo" kumkumbusha mambo yake ya nyuma na kumkumbusha kumtegemea nguvu za KIPOFU,

SASA NIAMBIE NI LINI MUNGU WENU ALIWAHI KUMCHUKUA KIUMBE WAKE KUMPELEKA KULE ALIKO AKIWA HAI, LINI ALIWAHI KUFUFUA, LINI ALIWAHI HATA KUMPONYA KIPOFU, MUNGU WENU HANA HATA UWEZO WA KUMNYANYUA MAREHEMU MUHAMMAD
